TRENTINO SVILUPPO: pipe guard-rail

Class H2 pipe guard rail – Bridge parapet

The steel pipe-bridge parapet has been developed on the behalf of the Provincia Autonoma di Trento, classified in H2 class (EN 1317).

The posts are composed by C-shape steel profiles, which are fixed to the curbs of retaining walls or bridges or viaducts.

The longitudinal pipes restrain the vehicles in case of getting out and are connected to the posts with a vulcanised rubber spacer.
The use of tubolar parts, instead of the well known two or three waves beams, causes some important advantages. The tubolar parts:

don’t have any sharp edge and for this reason they are better for pedestrians, bikers and motorcyclists;

maintain the section unchanged during the impact. The inertia doesn’t change and the resistance is higher;

don’t create a wall in case of snow (or sand in the desert) and avoid snow (sand) drifts along the road;

don’t close the visual, so that it’s possible to have a better view of the landscape.

Class H2 pipe guard rail – Roadside barrier

The steel pipe-roadside barrier has been developed on the behalf of the Provincia Autonoma di Trento, classified in H2 class (EN 1317).

The posts are composed by C-shape steel profiles, which are driven into the roadside terrain.

The longitudinal pipes restrain the vehicles in case of getting out and are connected to the posts with a vulcanised rubber spacer.
